help with dates and time

[osval]

I have a program where I expect the user to enter two values, a date and time in these formats:

7/28/2008
22:30
6:45

if I receive this information as a string, what the best way to parse out the day, month, year and hour, minute values?

// 7/28/2008
// 22:30
String dayStr = "7/28/2008";
String timeStr = "22:30";
String[] dateTokens = dayStr.split("\\/");
String[] timeTokens = timeStr.split("\\:");
System.out.println("day     = " + dateTokens[0]);
System.out.println("month   = " + dateTokens[1]);
System.out.println("year    = " + dateTokens[2]);
System.out.println("hours   = " + timeTokens[0]);
System.out.println("minutes = " + timeTokens[1]);

StringTokenizer class can also be used, which would be easier
